Baseline Plus Overview

Baseline Plus Funds

Baseline Plus is an additional debit account that is used for other campus purchases. Most students find they will need some amount of Baseline Plus funds. All residence hall students are given the option to deposit funds as Baseline Plus Funds at the start of the semester. Each plan holder chooses an amount to deposit based on anticipated needs. Students may deposit more funds to Baseline Plus throughout the semester, if necessary. A Stout OneCard is used to access all account funds thereby eliminating the need to carry cash

Where can Baseline Plus funds be used?

Baseline Plus funds may be used at several on campus service locations.

Baseline Plus is a backup account for Baseline (Dining)

Baseline Plus funds can be used as an alternate means of payment in dining locations once Baseline funds (dining only) have been depleted.

At all dining locations, the computer checks Baseline funds for a sufficient balance to complete the transaction. When there is not enough funds, the computer then checks Baseline Plus. If a sufficient balance is found here, the transaction is completed with the amount deducted from Baseline Plus funds (at Baseline prices)

The student does NOT need to do anything different, the computer automatically checks.
